The cloning I'm using is odd. Rather than use in vitro or egg cells, only the progenitor is needed to make more. I was toying around with the idea that they retain some memories of the original, but I cut it since it seemed too creepy.

“I couldn’t fulfill your wish to achieve greater power… All this while and you’re still stuck with a training unit.”

“Ina-kun… About that… I…”

A soft ember glow suddenly emanates through panel gaps on the Proioxis’ armor, interrupting them as Inami looks down onto his chestplate.

“W-What’s this glow…?”

“The desire for power… The power to protect…” Fal utters through the Proioxis’ speakers.

“Fal…?”

The panel gaps on Cecilia’s Blue Tears also begin to glow in blue light followed by a soft hum, shifting their attention to her.

“The Blue Tears…!”

“It’s glowing too… W-What's happening?”

“What it means, Cecilia-san, is that Inami-san and Tsurugi-san aren’t the only people in this room who wishes for greater power.”

“Eh…? I’m…” Cecilia points to herself, confused about the occurrence as she then looks at the glowing panel gaps on her IS.

“Cecilia-san… The Blue Tears is currently reacting to your emotions. The core knows that you wish for more power to protect people you love and care for…”

“B-But how…?”

“The same way I did when I discarded the Minerva Kai and built the Proioxis in its place. I sensed Inami-san’s heartfelt desire to achieve greater power to protect his loved ones… and that he’s prepared to shoulder the responsibility that comes with it.”

“Yes… I can fulfill your wish. However, you will not be able to deploy the Proioxis for the next forty-eight hours should you decide to accept my offer.”

“My wish…” Inami then looks over to Tsurugi and Cecilia, who are softly smiling at him with a slight nod.

“You don’t have to say it, Ina-kun… We’ll find out soon enough.”

“Likewise for myself, Inami… Shall we?”

The glowing panel gaps on the Blue Tears begin to slowly intensify with bright blue light, indicating that she has made her choice. Inami smiles back to her and nods while the ember glow on the Proioxis’ armor intensifies as well.

“Let’s do it.”

“Well then, I’ll need you to make physical contact with that dead drone and Tsurugi-san’s IS.”

He quickly gets up to kneeling position and touches the downed Astra with his left hand while Tsurugi firmly holds onto his right.

“Good, initiating Outshift systems. Cecilia-san, are you prepared to accept the Blue Tears’ offer as well?”

“Yes. And I’m ready to shoulder the responsibilities that will follow.”

“All right. Now, let the core fulfill your wish.”

“Okay.”

Cecilia then closes her eyes as blue digital streams emit from the glowing panel gaps, orbiting around the Blue Tears as it gets engulfed in bright blue light. Inami and Tsurugi also does the same, closing their eyes shut as ember digital streams flows around the Astra and her Uchigane while the Proioxis emits a strong flash of ember light.

United Nations Defense Force was the epitome of military front recently formed at the dawn of Cold War, with the existence of Aliens recognized fully, Earth need to unite under a single banner, or at least, shown that to people out there that yes, they are weak, but not meaningless.

“It was truth that this case is heinous” he continued “On the other hand, we gained a lot of information which, in the near future will benefit us for real”

The dispute regarding German’s action under the table continues solemnly, Ringo Yuuki (32), a famous activist as well as Director General of United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization – UNESCO, was one of the strong oppressor.

In the end, it was decided that several key individuals will be prosecuted according to international law.

One can hear the cries of injustice and hypocrisy when WHO and UNESCO both agree that the project result will be used for a breakthrough in the development of medical and health science regardless of its heavily controversial origins.

Ringo paid no attention, she knew about the hard truth.

In the end, nothing about United Nations is black and white; sometimes necessary evil is just that, required. Ringo can’t deny about that, but she had to do her role as the lighter shade of gray. It’s all about power balance between order and chaos, rather than good and evil.

The red headed woman missed her home badly, but there are plenty of things she should take care of.

Indeed, it’s really ironic. In spite of being one of the most well-known faces of Children welfare activist before she got her position, she spend more time with her job rather than with her children, back in Japan.

She looks at the photo frame in her room, and thoroughly looked at it.

A red haired boy, a little girl aside him, and a tall, muscular man who carried both of them without any problem. Her family, her precious family which she neglected.

Therefore, she has a wish.

She wished that all her effort and her children's sacrifice so far will not be a waste, working together with people from WHO, she will make sure to support the victim to the fullest.

That's when she met her, Laura Bodewig.

Her gaze was flat, her magenta eyes looked at the older woman carefully.

The little girl was an empty shell, everything about her during her eleven years of life is laboratory and military, nothing else matter. She has been abused and neglected, treated and trained as a soldier for all she can remember.

Her left eye bears an eyepatch, when Ringo tried to open it, Laura shunned her fiercely.

Ringo never gave up, and with a gentle, motherly touch, she managed to accomplish it.

Laura has beautiful, golden orbs for a left eye, which strikingly resembles her son's. Ringo smiled and hugged her, which she responds with utter confusion.

Laura tried to push her away again, this kind of intimacy and closeness us a totally alien sensation for her. It’s human nature that uncertain led to fear, and thus Laura we’re afraid.

Still, that scene seems rather cute. Wonder what went through Laura's mind when she got hugged.

Speaking of which, if the canon cast were to be interviewed individually, what would they most likely talk about? Was watching some TF2 "Meet The..." videos and that struck my mind.

@ Stratos & Eras
Notice her drastic change? yeah, I use that for a template.

In nature, Laura is just that, a shy and innocent girl. She got her 'mask' from the hardness of Military life, but more reserved due to Ringo's influence. Though like canon, she still saw brute strength as the only way to protect herself. It's sill up to Ichika to teach her the power of bonds.

BTW, I'm short on color scheme for Fanon machines (since canon machines already hog the most common one), anybody can help?

@ Stratos
I Imagine Ichika WILL be featured in every single "Meet the X" video, either as a favorite or an abuse victim or whatever

That NEEDS to happen, one way or another.

And Ling comes to my mind when I watch "Meet the Demoman"... Maybe its because of how he initially responded to the "What makes me a good demoman?" question.
